We use a local feed shops 10% sweet (i hate sweet feed....but it is cheep) and Nutrina Life Design Senior. I am looking into replacing the senior with an ADM senior feed. Does anyone use their feed??? It does not have the molasses added and looks to have a forage base in the pelleted mix. Any experience??

I'm sorry, i've never heard of ADM - but in a senior feed, you want slightly elevated protein levels (12-14%) and a forage base or beet pulp base. Also ensure that there are added vitamins/minerals and that the tag does not read something like "grain products"...you want it to say "beet pulp" or "soybean hulls"

Another consideration with senior feed is if it is a complete feed (no hay needed) or not. Also, make sure it can be easily soaked for those guys with fewer teeth

I feed Purina Horse Chow 200 to my old stallion his teeth are worn down alot so he has trouble chewing hay. Other then that I only feed whole oats and corn no commercial feeds and I give min/via free choice.

I don't have experience with ADM either. Here's a link that I think is the company you're asking about. They sound pretty good.

Not familiar with ADM. I personally say if you can get any Triple Crown products...USE THEM! I had to go without them for 5 months (not sold where I moved to) but after suffering through low-quality products (won't name any names...cough Purina) and my horse losing some topline and gaining "bottom line" belly as a consequence...I finally drove 2 hours and bought 4 months worth of Triple Crown
